So called parents

by beckyy   Nov 7, 2012


This is something you would never do for me
take the time to tell me how you feel
my whole childhood spent looking for a way
never could find a way out

each year, my birthday felt empty
everytime the phone rang, i wished for a miracle
i would have given anything to get out

now im years older, and im telling you this
only real parents will care for their child
so that why i am writing this down
cuz once you must have cared
but when and why did that change?

all those years really did a number on me
now when i look at you, i realize im not a child anymore
i only had one question
and its still un answered

as a child i had to fent for myself
missed having a childhood but had to keep my mouth
never saw a little love from either of you
never had someone to listen
so thats why im so good at keeping it all in

i can tell you that this isnt what i once was planning to say
but it is what it is
i thought my self everything a parent should have teached
how to respect a woman, how to trust and how to work
all those thing you could have thought me
the knowledge and experience came from someone else
but its all cool, your child has grown up
and learned from your mistakes, thats how i try to look at it

and in my early childhood i still had some hope
that both of you would see the light
but like most dreams, it was just a dream
cuz if i would still hope, i would still dream about that
but my eyes are open, the fact are well known
i have accepted the fact that i dont have parents
eventhough ive grown up, im still learning
i will be a great parent, your loss

all those years, have left me scarred
but look at me now huh
im not a scared little girl anymore
i had 1 question
but i no longer care if you answer it or not
